Tabbed By Larry Mofle
6/13/15



This song has a lot of key changes in it, I am doing this to the open tuning so there are barre chords in it



    A                                 D
Now Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two seemed to know just what to do
  A                                        E  
Invented the sound that hooked you and me, added one and made Tennessee Three
    A                                       D
The man in black was long and lean, hit the Billboard charts with a Teenage Queen
      A                                         E
Had a television show, the best we'd seen, that chick-a-boom rock really made a splash
                   A
Missing ol' Johnny Cash



Up 1/2 step to A#

           A#                        D#
Now Johnny Cash was a friend of mine Knew him well for a mighty long time
A#                                E#
Shared the stage for many a show, broke my heart to see him go
A#                                   D#
Cash had the fire of a thousand men, lovin life was his greatest sin
A#                                     E# 
Treated his fans like the next of kin, rappin a bit, talkin trash
                   D#   
Missing ol' Johnny Cash


         A#                                    D#
Well now Johnny Cash wore black attire and he fell into that Ring of Fire
   A#                                           E#
He came up swinging like a Boy Named Sue and he married June Carter and he fired stu
   A#                                      D#
He wrote his songs from deep within And he hit the stage with a crooked grin
       A#                              E#
He and I were both Highwaymen And that record became a smash
                            A# 
Well I'm missing ol' Johnny Cash


Up 1/2 step to B

B                                 E  
Johnny Cash never walked no line, Johnny Cash never did no time, but
        B                               F# 
When he sang a Folsom Prison Blues, you knew good and well he'd paid his dues
B                                       E
True, he always dressed in black but he loved folks and they loved him back
B                                             F# 
Carried his pills in a brown paper sack, well I don't care if they found his stash
                       B
I'm missin' old Johnny Cash


Recitation:
A
Now is it really true that him and Roy Nichols, Rose Maddox, some people roasted hot dogs in the back of a limousine with ice cream sticks? 
I don't know, they said they set the curtains on fire in a English hotel room just to warm their hands. Well. Willie, do you know anything about Cash
Well yeah, I know a lot of things about Cash. I'm not sure I should talk about it, but I checked with John, asked him if it's OK, he said he didn't give a s**t
One time he took a casket up to his hotel room and got into it and called room service. I thought that was pretty funny

    A
Now Cash had the fire of a thousand men
D
Lovin life was his greatest sin
A
Treated his fans like the next of kin
E
Rappin a bit, talkin trash
                   A
